Happy 1 year in Heaven Steven. Keep playing those drums up there.✝️

My memory of the Chief, is that he was always compassionate and a real gentleman.    I signed him up to our group, ARPO (Assn of Retired Police Officers)  a group that I am proud to belong to and honored to serve on their Board of  Officers.  You could call Steve, and he would get on the phone to talk with you.  He never forgot where he came from or that even thought he was the head man under the Commissioner, he was still one of the guys.... He is missed.  A great guy who never forgot, that HE, was one on the guys......R I P,  Chief......

You passed on my birthday and yours is the 18th.  I hope they have plenty of candles in heaven.   People did not know me in your circle, but you did thank me for showing you a path to your happiness, but I was not in it, even though we both thought i would be.  You were the love of my life.

So very sorry about Steven. I graduated in 1970 from Hicksville High School 1970. Always a gentleman. Rest In Peace! Soar With The Angels. Prayers for the family.

My sincere condolences to Marianne, Kathryn, Scott and all of Steve's family and friends.  I am very proud to have been able to call Steve my cousin - I have many fond memories of growing up together!  I am also very proud of the man he was and of his work in law enforcement.  He left us much too soon and he will be missed terribly! Rest In Peace dear Steve - you've earned it!  I love you!

Chief,

   Thank you for your leadership, courage, professional advice and friendship.  YOU will be missed, but NEVER forgotten.
Rest Easy, We got it from here.

My heart goes out to Steve’s family during this difficult time.  I worked under Steve’s leadership in NCPD Narcotics/Vice Squad.  He was one of the most professional bosses I have ever had the pleasure to work with.  Steve will be missed by all who knew him.
Rest In Peace, Boss 



We’re so sorry for your loss, It’s a heart break to loose a fine gentleman like Mr. Steven Skrynecki. He left so many’s memories behind  and all  His  achievements   that we’ll never forget. Our Condolences 💐 to the all family’s                                                                   Maria and Gaspare Pellegrino 

Rest In Peace Chief. It was a pleasure to know you and work with you. God Speed 

To the family of Steve Skrynecki, our deepest Condolences to you all at this most difficult time. We were sad to hear of his recent illness and passing. We’ve been his neighbors across the street for many years. He always waved to us with a smile. We’ve had small conversations through the years. A very dignified man . We appreciate his dedication to law enforcement for so many decades and his commitment to his community and most of all his friends, family and colleagues. He will be missed in the neighborhood. Such a presence with his prestigious  position over the years but yet so low-key and with so much humility.  May he eternally rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers to his children and loved ones. Sincerely, The Ricca family

Dear Steve, Hopefully you’ll be able to read all of the wonderful letters people have written to you in Heaven because I know that’s where you are now.  I never worked with you.  I had the pleasure of knowing you because I bowled with your dad, Ed, for many, many years on Wednesday mornings.  We all loved bowling with your dad and I always enjoyed talking to you about him.  Rest in Peace Steve.  

A Great guy, A Great gentleman, A  Great officer,  A Great friend to many,  and a Great loss to us ALL!   R.I.P.   Chief

In 1974, I met a rookie "footman" named Steve Skrynecki.  On a midnight, just shooting the breeze, he made the bold statement that his ambition was to become the police commissioner.  Ballsy but you knew right away how committed this man was.  He'll always be the "Lead  Tip".  I loved that man.  Rest In Peace, Chief!

I miss you Steve, I've known you since first grade.
We lived around the block from each other. We did alot of things as friends. You were the drummer in our high school band
 The Blue Glass Illusion, we surfed together and never forget the day at Tobay Beach when there were monster sized waves. Later on in our lives we shared time with you Marianne and Donna.
Always enjoyed you both. I consider you a best friend an always enjoyed our talks. 
Well now you're in heaven with the best of the best. It leaves holes in our hearts but one day we will all meet again dancing on the streets of gold.
Love you my friend

I knew Steve was sick and I was sorry to hear this.  I met Steve through my brother about 35 years ago.  I did him a business favor and then a personal one.  We became friends and our paths crossed many times over the years.  He was funny, fun, personable and a just  an all around nice guy.  When my parents died at different time, he called and when I was moving, he stopped by.  We would chat and laugh.  The world was a better place with him in it.  I will miss him.



       I worked with Steve in the NCPD.  He was always a pleasure to speak with and was highly competent in any task that he handled.  He was a consumate law enforcement professional who will be  greatly missed.  My condolences to MaryAnn and his family.  RIP Chief.

Steve,
     I can’t help but remember when we were rookie foot cops walking adjoining foot posts in Hicksville. I remember checking an open door at the movie theater at the Broadway mall. When you decided to light off three firecrackers that you had. This sent the security guard running for the hills. I don’t think his feet touched the ground he was running so fast. I still laugh about that to this day. Thanks for those memories. We went through good times and bad times, laughed and cried.
       I remember how devastated you were when Jean passed. You stayed strong for Scott and did a fantastic job in raising him to be the successful man he is today. Not an easy job in this day and age. I know how proud you are of him.
    I know you’re not going to read this but I felt I needed to say goodbye to a dear friend. To someone who did good for the people he served and will be missed dearly. My Life was made better knowing you, thank you for that.
      I hope you have a safe journey to the glory of Heaven, you will be sorely missed here on earth. Until we meet again,
     With Love, your friend
  Tommy Grosso

In 1974 Steve graduated from the Nassau County Police Academy and was assigned to the Second Precinct. I had Hicksville Car Post RMP 215 and Steve became my Footman. We instantly became good friends. Steve was smart, loyal and you knew he would be a rising star. Five years later I was promoted to Sergeant and Steve and his wife Jean came to my promotional party. At the time Jean was suffering from a terminal illness. Steve was loyal in our strong friendship and would not miss a good friend's celebration. That was the kind of special person he was. Rest in Peace my good friend.

Many knew Steve as a leader, an accomplished man in blue, dedicated and principled. He deserves all the accolades bestowed upon him from those that served under him and those in his own way enriched.  He was a man’s man as the saying goes, but I knew him in a different way. He was a friend, he was a fun guy who you could share a tale and a beer with. He didn’t wear  his 4 stars on him when he was hanging with his “buds. He was one of us, no more and no less… Though the times we were able to share only happened less frequently through the years, the times we had will always be indelibly etched in my mind and soul..I thank God for knowing this wonderful man, my friend Steve.  RIP …See you later

What an amazing person and friend to so many people you will be deeply missed

I will never forget the supervisor who led by example, led with kindness, led with humility, led with purpose and strength.  To my Lt.  of the Second Precinct NCPD  thank you for treating all of us the same .. the same respect for every officer of color or of gender.. whether they were gay or straight.  We were all his officers.  You will not be forgotten .. not ever in my lifetime.  Deirdre Malone Ret. Police Officer 02 Pct NCPD

Steve and I attended the police academy as recruits in 1974. I was honored to work with him when he was assigned to the sixth squad and in his many capacities as a Police Executive. I will always treasure my memories of joining him as a band parent and being assigned to security at our son's Hicksville Marching Band events. He was was a real gentleman and a true Police Professional 
Rest in Peace my friend.
Bill Kilfoil, Chief of Police(ret)
Port Washington Police 

Steve was a gentleman and eager to share his knowledge to those who would work to improve themselves both professionally and personally. 

He made a positive impression on everyone he crossed paths with and will be sorely missed.
